  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Hearing aid do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. The edit(s) in question follow: [1] --4wajzkd02 (talk) 18:21, 14 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Mesothelioma. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. Please stop adding a link to a law firm.

Hi Tlpoole. The link you are inserting does not meet our requirements for a reliable source as the site is promoting a view. The site's primary purpose is to advertise the law firm and therefore also falls under links normally to be avoided. Hope this answers your question. --NeilN talk to me 22:16, 14 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
